Becoming your parents..

marxcoo

...I had the shocking realisation when I was doing my shopping that I have become my mother. Standing in front of vegetables for a good ten minutes, doing arithmetic in my noggin, and then walking away, smugness radiating from my being because I managed to save 7c. Then making my way over to 'flirt' with the butcher..... the shame.

One night I decided it would be a good idea to set the table for my breakfast, then I thought f**k that and put everything back.

The butcher; always ready to give you a good deal on sausage.

I use coupons, for nearly everything!

Have you looked at young wans walking around town and thought "She'll be sorry she wore that when she gets a chill in her kidneys"?

Oh so the butcher now replaces the milkman as the local flirt. I suppose it is a new century and all.

Wait a minute I was in the butchers yesterday and I am a man.... SO WERE ALL THE OTHER CUSTOMERS!!!

Dearest agony aunt.

Does this mean the local butcher is the only gay butcher in the village?
Were we subconsciously flirting with him?

Going to bed the same time as my mother!

Found myself becoming my da in the summer, gave out to my friends while setting up a tent and told them "wait in the car, I'll do it myself"

Years ago, I saw young ones wearing bum pelmets on the street and told my mother it was a disgrace what young ones were wearing these days - if you could call them clothes. Mum was mystified as to what was wrong with the skirts, told me she wore skirts like those in the 60s!
I was 30, mum was 53! I realised I was turning into my grandmother :eek:

This is a regular occurrence for me Mam is in the pub at a table quiz, texts me for answers, and the next morning I see the texts from 10.30 the night before and realise I was already asleep!

When I found my self shouting at the kids "turn off those lights I wont be able to pay the electricity bill" I knew then it was too late I had already turned:(

It's ok as long as you don't start wearing your mother's underwear if you're a guy.

Kimono-Girl

i think once you have kids you most definitely turn into your parents, especially when you finally understand why they said, and did what they did....and you realise you now spend 90% of your day repeating what they told you! :eek:

When I give out to younger family members I scare myself with how like my mother I sound.

"If you fall and break your arm don't come running to me!"

"Do you think there are fairies that come out at night and clean up after you?!"

Earthhorse

Why just the other day I made the decision to fuck up a young person's life.

Are ya proud o' me pa?

I'm becoming grumpier and more unreasonable every day, it frightens me how much I'm turning into them

If there ever comes a time when I realise I have become either of my parents I'll...........be very sad indeed.

I have on a number of occasions found myself checking the radiators in the house to see if they need bleeding. It always reminds me of my oul man & how I used to laugh at him for doing the very same thing.

I was peeling spuds a few weeks ago and found myself muttering about the ****e quality of the latest bag I'd bought, waste of money, not going to buy that type again etc... Realised it was word-for-word what I hear Mum saying at least once a month. Shamed

FreudianSlippers

I drive a nice car. Damn, I've turned into my parents.

I think your ma taught you wrong there. It should be:
"If you break both your legs don't come running to me!"
